General Notes
Overall, he seems comfortable getting deep on a shot, holding his opponent, and pressing them against the cage, repeatedly attempting takedowns throughout the round. This strategy dominates most of his cage time: control and persistence over going for a finish.
He occasionally works toward a submission but doesn’t typically go for ground and pound. His focus seems to be on control and grappling rather than striking once he gets his opponent to the ground.
He has footage from his teenage years on YouTube, doing local smokers with other gyms. Even back then, his style was about shooting for takedowns and holding opponents against the cage. His approach has consistently focused on control.
Stance & Movement
I always like throwing in a focused view of a fighter’s stance to get a feel for their general movement and rhythm.
He’s an orthodox fighter, right hand always high and tight against his face, showing good defense. His lead foot angles inward, which is more of a boxing stance. That could make him vulnerable to calf kicks, as his positioning might make it harder to defend against those low attacks.

Cage Pressure and Single-Leg Takedowns
Lozano likes to push opponents to the cage, grabbing their left leg with both hands. He often steps his leg over theirs to set up takedowns. His game prioritizes attacking one leg: even his double leg takedowns start from a single leg setup.
